More than half of the Bdos Netball Associaiton's membership met and aired their concerns with respect to the functioning of the BNA Board of Directors during this year.
Coming out of that meeting, was a document listing some of the clubs' concerns and asking for a special general meeting to discuss these issues with a view to coming up with some solutions.
The letter was delivered to the BNA, and according to the consitution, it now has 14 days to call a special general meeting to disucss only the mentioned concerns on the agenda.
Lets hope that this is the first step towards bringing some level of corporation between the Board and its members so that Barbados netball can continue to progress.
While this has been happening, over in Australia and New Zealand a major argument is going on with respect to umpiring during the inaugural semi pro league which is being played in New Zealand and Australia.
The Aussies are arguing that the interpretations of the Kiwi and South AFrican umpires are affecting their teams, resulting in New Zealand having a decided home advantage.
The Aussies suggest that Australian umpires hold their whistle a lot longer, therefore lots of calls that are made when their teams play in New Zealand confuses the Aussie players. They even have statistics to prove that one team had 40 contact calls in four games played in Australia, while that same team had 70 contact calls in one game played in New Zealand!!!!!!!!
Maybe the Aussies are in a better position to understand the Caribbean players complaints at World championships about the adjustments they have to make when an Aussie is officiating their games.
The sport of Netball is great..lets write about it and ensure it takes its rightful place on the world map. Right here you can also have your say on any and everything. Politics impacts on our lives whether we like it or not, so have your say, maybe you can influence someone.
